The ANC9s have three different levels of noise-canceling like the Sonys do — the only difference is that it, in this case, it really works. In fact, when riding home with the ANC9s on one night, the silence was so peaceful that I nodded off and missed my stop. Eternal slumber aboard a horrible, lumbering machine. That's what we were after all along.

Let's face it: good noise canceling headphones are pricey, but if you spend a lot of time on planes or trains, they're worth every penny. Today Buydig is having a stellar sale on the noise canceling headphones you want. They're offering them for $199, which is a steal. Use coupon code NewYearSave5 to knock another $5 off.

The MSRP was $350 when we reviewed these cans back in September, and Amazon's still selling them for $300, which makes this a really good deal. [Buydig] Bummer, guys. They've already sold out.

There are some pretty badass Doc Martens on sale over at 6PM today. On the other hand there are also some historically hideous shoes on sale as well. My pick are these steel-toe boots — they make me wanna kick some heads in, or something. [6PM]

The Best American Nonrequired Reading should be required reading

Amazon's running a pretty cool Kindle ebook promotion on the Best American series, which takes notable writers and has them curate a list of their favorite writing in the field for a given year — essays, science writing, short stories. It's kind of like a blog roundup in book form. Well, they're all $2 today for the Kindle. My favorite is the Best American Nonrequired Reading, which is curated by Dave Eggers. I read the 2009 edition, and it was a really fun read. Without it I never would have discovered The Million Year Boom. I picked up this year's version for my Kindle, and I know what I'll be reading on the subway tonight. [Amazon]
